The Video Republic
A new theatre of public information has emerged, spread across the internet, television, and campaigns. This emerging Video Republic is an alternative realm of creation and exchange. Who inhabits, shapes and regulates the Video Republic and what is its future?
Video is changing young people into reporters, commentators, distributors, directors, spokesmen for their own lives, beliefs, and opinions
This is a new public realm, a virtual community, an expressive democracy . . . be a part of it.
Four Corners Activity: agree, disagree, strongly agree, strongly disagree
The video republic is growing . . .
But if it's democracy, do politicians have any business here?
If it's free speech, should everyone be able to make a video?
If it's public space, should private companies own it?
"It's time to connect the energy in the video republic with the mainstream.
